Looks good Keith. I have been using air scoops like this since about 04, and they really do make a difference. I wouldnt be surprised if you drop another tenth at least just from that scoop.

That's actually a good idea Greg. Could do both? The engine compartment does get a little warm with a turbo in it. Bill(arocketman) had suggested to me to open up the fender well openings to get the heat out for cooler engine compartment. Now is a good time to do just that.

PS. Thanks Bill & Greg.:thumb::thumb:

Thanks hoping to see a little improvement between this scoop and a slightly smaller pulley should put me down in low 11s which is all I really want for now!!!! Secret mod coming soon enough should be close to 10s yeah!

Trimmed the Wheel Liner just enough to leave cover (where needed) and a drip edge. Does make a difference as both sides are equal in the open space provided.

Here is the pipe thru the fog hole fits perfectly in the old plastic surround. I think I will be adding a horn here to funnel it better.

Just trim the outside edge as needed. :thumb:

finding the bell/stack is a pain in the but lol. I am still searching when I have time. slowly coming together. good thing is the IAT temps are holding to within 5 degrees of ambient now when moving with scoop so I know its working on funneling air in there. cooler weather is coming :thumb:

That's not a bad idea.... Could use that aluminum bendable dryer vent tube. It's light weight and much cheaper than any cool air intake system. And could be used for at least getting the shape and angles of the cool air intake. I used one to figure out the shape of the 4" down pipe from the turbo.
